Why it’s HorroRated

Things Heard and Seen is a slow-burn supernatural thriller that uses its Hudson Valley period setting to build atmosphere. Amanda Seyfried gives a strong performance as a woman whose new home is revealing things she didn't want to know. The film prioritizes dread over explanation and benefits from that restraint.

Synopsis

Amanda and George Hall are starting over in a house that contains evidence of previous occupants' experiences, and the couple next door are connected to that history. James Norton and Amanda Seyfried anchor a supernatural domestic thriller that generates its unease from information accumulation rather than conventional scares.
